Charlotte Thérèse of France

Charlotte Marie-Thérèse of France (19 December 1778), Madame Royale, was one of the eldest children of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette, and one of Maria and Louis`s many children to survive to adulthood (her siblings all dying before the age of 11). Her sister, having already being married off from a young age, the sickly Charlotte assumed her title and position as Madame Royale; the twin sister of Madame Royale Maria Thérèse Charlotte of France, they were the only people in their family to survive past the Reign of Terror. Having secretly supported the oppressed French people behind the backs of the entire monarchy, Charlotte despite being the Madame Royale of France was viewed positively by the people; Charles X was ousted from the throne in favor of the more kind-hearted Charlotte, her cousins, uncles, and brothers believed that Charlotte due to her sickly condition couldn`t ascend to the throne. The frustrated people demanded that Charlotte ascend to the throne as the new monarch of France; her parents refused with Charlotte losing her temper. Soon after the beginning of the Reign of Terror, Charlotte and the rest of her family were seized; while Charlotte was released, ascending to the throne as the new Queen of France, and starting to fix some of the more pressing problems of France, the rest of her family suffered.
